Disaster response is a life-or-death matter. But the current administration has stated its desire to eliminate FEMA as it exists and have states lead disaster response. States already lead disaster response; that is how disaster response works. Dismantling FEMA does not help with disaster response; it eliminates the safety net that serves as the backstop for emergency management. 

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid.

It is an honor to represent the 2nd District. Our shared values – working hard, caring for each other, and serving the community – guide my work in Congress.
